Repeating patterns, mate.
OK. Assume 'if we start with a bacteria, the probability of the species finally going extinct is p'. Then,
p = 3/4 + 1/4*p*p
=> (p-2)^2 = 1
=> p = 1 [Rejecting the other solution as that can't be a probability number]
So, the probability of of the Hulululu species never going extinct = 1-p = 0
